Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yefgraph Dmitrievich Tyurin (Russian: ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿) was a Russian architect and art collector, famous as the builder of Elokhovo Cathedral in Moscow, the main cathedral of Russian Orthodox Church in 1945-2000, and Moscow State University expansion in 1830. Tyurin's life and work, especially in his later years, was poorly documented. His life period is usually presented as 1792-1870, however, recent studies by Sophia Tyurina-Mitrokhina extend it, most likely, to 1793-1875. Tyurin was a free born from low classes. The year of his birth is disputed (1792, 1793, 1796). In 1805-1813, Tyurin studied practical construction crafts in the Moscow Kremlin Building Commission, then headed by Kremlin Administrator Pyotr Stepanovich Valuev (1743-1814). Later, Tyrin studied architecture under Domenico Giliardi. Since 1816, Tyurin was involved in temporary repairs of the old Great Kremlin Palace, first under Ivan Mironovsky (1774-1860), then under Vasily Stasov.
